I'm surprised they aren't going for at least a couple of more floors with the popularity of the area. I believe Lake once said that the highest a wood structure can go is 7 floors, so that is probably why. I really like the inclusion of townhome apartments. It will provide additional options for the area. Can't wait to see what they land for the retail spaces.

Always good to see the area blossoming. I guess, now, that monorail expansion to brooklyn is practically a shoe-in... right?

They can go higher than that in wood it just becomes really uneconomical and unconventional.  Better to go steel or concrete after that.  Typically it is 5 stories max with conventional wood bearing walls and framing.  If you go taller than that there is typically a floor or two of concrete construction at the base like 220 and what this one will be.

Yes. Lots of renderings and floor plans. I'm planning to upload and run the entire DDRB presentation for Monday's main story.

Design not great.  Their current building could be in suburbia.

What the core needs right now is more apartment options and more young people living in and around downtown.  These are not the same suburban type complexes you are seeing mostly on the southside.  They are something that is an attempt at a more urban design filling the void of something that is completely lacking in the core . . . modern medium rise style with modern amenities that are more affordable than the southbank condo towers.  I don't think it's the greatest design but I have absolutely no problem with the product.  They have incorporated the parking withing the building itself which is probably one of the most important aspects that separates it from the traditional suburban model.  Also, three sides of it front a street, which also separates it from the suburban model.  I wouldn't be so critical when there is nothing else of its kind currently going on in the core.

It's better than most of what has been built recently. I'll hold my feelings on 200 for when I see the full renderings, but I think this will address the street better than 220.
